Chagos deal β€˜set to be signed this week’ ahead of Trump’s inauguration Source claims UK and Mauritius have reached a consensus days before US president-elect returns to power

HMG's inability to speak publicly about the impetus and constraining factors behind this agreement has become simply untenable. I understand there will be further detail once the deal is signed, but the costs of the information vacuum have been extremely high.

I'm glad Congress has pushed for this necessary ban of TikTok, but the delays imposed by the Biden administration's review in 2021 and the heel-dragging in Congress has now increased the social and political costs of the ban to a significant degree. All sadly foreseeable.
